Interview w/ Brooke Wyckoff (Associate HC at Florida State)
Coach Wyckoff shares her journey from growing up in Ohio to WNBA player and eventually becoming the Associate HC at her alma mater [Florida State University]. She talks about playing HS basketball at the start of the ABL and WNBA's inception and her decision to commit to FSU - even after a coaching change took place. After FSU she was drafted by the Orlando Miracle (now the Connecticut Sun) and played nearly a decade of professional basketball alongside the likes Rebecca Lobo (Connecticut Sun) and Sue Bird (USA Basketball) and for great coaches such as Mike Thibault. Once her playing days were over she was an Assistant Coach at a Lakota East HS in Ohio for two years before returning to Tallahassee to be on staff at Florida State under her college coach [Sue Semrau]. She was promoted to Associate HC in 2018 and also started the "Moms in Coaching" organization after becoming a mother to her daughter Avery, the group currently has about 60 coaches and they meet at the Final Four each year. Coach Wyckoff shares her thoughts on men coaching women's basketball and women coaching men's basketball as well talking about what rules she'd like to see changed at the NCAA level.\n\n--- \n\nSupport this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/beyondtheboxscore/support
